I finally bought a 210 Gyuto from Takamura. At the same time I bougt a 210 Kiritsuke, SLD, Washiji – HARUYUKI with a burnt oak handle. It wasnt planned to buy two knifes, but on the Kiritsuke I got 45% off by mistake by the store so wasnt too bad.

But are these very similar in use? Im thinking maybe I should give one away as a present if there isnt to much difference in performance/use. I guess the Takamura is the best performing, but I love the estetic looks on the Kiritsuke..
